New In Colour 2025-2027 Darling Duckling

Tonight's card feature's another of our new In Colours, Darling Duckling. I have used a combination of old and new products to create this card.

I started by stamping the daisy image from the Lifetime of Love stamp set. I inked the stamp in Versamark first the immediately inked in Basic Gray before stamping on Fluid Water Colour paper. I heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder to produce a shiny, raised image.

I coloured the image with a Water Painter and ink colours Darling Duckling, Mossy Meadow and Basic Gray. I cut the image with the co ordinating die and then mounted it on the scalloped oval dies piece from the Unbounded Love dies.

I embossed the Darling Duckling background with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I gently sponged White Craft ink over the raised damask images with a Sponge Dauber to highlight them.

We will be back next week with projects featuring Secret Sea.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week42 - Pretty Peacock Lifetime of Love

For week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop we are featuring one of my favourite colours Pretty Peacock. Pretty Peacock was originally one of our In Colours, that returned a couple of years later to our core colour range in the Regals Colour Family.

For today's cards I used the Forever Love Specialty DSP and some masking.

I created both background pieces with one of the masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Pretty Peacock Ink and a Blending Brush. I find that I get the most even ink coverage with a Blending Brush if I add the colour quite slowly, adding a small amount of ink until I'm happy with the depth of colour. I use a circular motion on the ink pad to load the brush and then a circular motion to apply the ink to the cardstock.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Forever Love Specialty DSP. The greetings are embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I borrowed the Happy Anniversary from a discontinued set called Timeless Love.

The greeting panels were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Nested Essential Dies. I popped a short piece of Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon under each of the floral pieces. The card bases are Very Vanilla Thick card stock to add a bit more stability to my cards.

Now it's time to see what my very talented stamping friend Di Furniss has to share with us.
